Dinnertime Heroes & Brunch Buddies

Give the comfort of a home-cooked meal to families

Providing home-cooked meals to our guest families is an integral part of providing a “home-away-from-home.” Share your culinary skills with our guest families to help alleviate food insecurity and lift another worry from their shoulders.

“While we were grateful for the opportunity to provide a meal, the truth is that our team benefitted just as much, if not more, from being there and witnessing the care, compassion, and support you provide to families every day.” – Linda G.
 
“Our goal was to provide a bit of comfort and “home” to your guest families, but honestly, our team walked away feeling just as inspired by the strength of the families and the vital mission you lead every day. Knowing that a simple meal could offer a moment of relief during a challenging time is exactly why we cherish these opportunities to give back.” -Casey G.
 

Here are three ways YOU can be a Dinnertime Hero or Brunch Buddy for families at Ronald McDonald House:

1 | Volunteer to Prepare a Meal
Schedule a Dinner Shift
Dinner Volunteer FAQs
Dinner Recipe Ideas
Schedule a Brunch Shift
Brunch Volunteer FAQs

Even if you aren’t able to volunteer, you can support the Dinnertime Heroes program with a donation. These funds will help the House provide meals for families when a Dinnertime Heroes team is not available. Even better, gifts made to Ronald McDonald House Central and Northern Arizona are tax deductible.
